Annam Butt is a figurative painter whose work explores the relationship between observation, material, and tradition. Working primarily from life, she produces her own canvases, preparing them by hand using raditional methods that avoid the use of acrylic primers.

Her practice emphasises the discipline of making, with an environmentally conscious approach to material and surface preparation, where structure and image are developed in tandem. Informed by a passion for capturing a sense of romanticism in the world as it is seen, her work carries a quiet narrative sensitivity while remaining grounded in direct visual experience.

Alongside her studio practice, she teaches and supports a community centred on the study of painting from life.
